Color Sensor Module - TCS3200
SKU: VMA325
The TCS230 senses color light with the help of an 8 x 8 array of photodiodes. Then using a Current-to-Frequency Converter the readings from the photodiodes are converted into a square wave with a frequency directly proportional to the light intensity. Finally, using the Arduino Board we can read the square wave output and get the results for the color.
Features:
- High resolution conversion of light intensity to frequency
- Programmable colour and full scale output frequency
- Communicates directly with a microcontroller
- Single supply operation (2.7 V to 5.5 V)
- Power down feature
- Non-linearity error typically 0.2% at 50 kHz
- Stable 200 ppm/°C temperature coefficient
- S0-S1: output frequency scaling selection inputs
- S2-S3: photodiode type selection inputs
- out pin: output frequency
- OE pin: output frequency enable pin (active low), can be impending when using
